FAQ
How much does HiDream O1 Image Dev cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
